Flower Girl

It’s not only in fashion that you find creative and exciting jobs. Denise, for example, is a flower stylist. Isn’t that the coolest job ever? Just look at the title!

She started up, just like that, because she loved putting bouquets together, and then word of mouth got around and she started free-lancing. You’d call her for decorating parties, putting together floral arrangements for restaurants, films… You can always find her around about the coolest places in New York.

She’s called Flower Girl, she’s got a logo and everything that totally rocks. I love it.

A few months ago, opportunity presented itself for her to open her own boutique inside a cool denim shop on the Lower East Side, Earnest Sewn. She told herself that this was the right moment, and off she went.

Ah! I love when people follow their passion.

And that’s it. The boutique is awesome, a mix of fresh flowers and a bygone era, and the shot above is the bouquet that I walked out with which has scented up our entire apartment for three days now. You see what I’m saying? It’s not just fashion that can make us happy, you know?!!!

That’s absolutely fabulous. I love hearing stories like this, as they are simply inspiring. Her boutique looks fantastic and she looks like a real sweetheart too.
Thanks for the inspiration, Garance

I admit in what you say and I adore people as well who follow their dreams.Like I do by the way ;-) She has such a laid-back relaxed look and her outfit is simple,casual but with smart details it is eye-and style-catching.Love that.http://www.fashionlifecoach.com/

What a romatic job it seems like, to work with flowers all day. Your bouquet must be the most intrigueing one I’ve ever seen, I’m trying to imagine how wonderful it must smell. Would love to visit her little shop, it looks just about perfect!

She is very lucky that followed her passion and made her life as she wanted it to be! And she is very beautiful also… Her style is amazing, just like a true flower girl could be! Garance, do you know where such jumpsuits are available?
Merci beaucoup,
Nathalie

You can tell by her warm, open expression that this is a woman who is utterly content. Wish she’d open a shop at Earnest Sewn in the Meatpacking District! We could use the beauty–like taking home a bit of the High Line! (have you been up there yet?)

What a lovely job to have. She looks a lovely person to have style flowers for a private party etc. Love to have fresh flowers at home. Thankfully I love in NL where flower markets are in abundance and are so inexpensive too.

Thank you, Garance. It’s blog (about flowers, or about girl, or about us?) is real touch of nostalgy, pure sences, pure thoughts. I love flowers, oldfashioned flower “boutigues” and girls, who make reality much better. Also I love to read about these things/feelings/relations, surrounding us. Fashion is a fact. Agree or disagree. Flowers and girls is from another, sensous world.

Sometimes I think people forget to look past fashion for inspiration – and here is a woman who has turned to flowers as her passion! And look, she is also a wonderful dresser too! I love her romper and her scarf – beautiful color combination, perfect for summer. Thank you for the post – it’s different and refreshing! :)

You see, I’m in this crossroad where I should choose between following my passion or working in a ‘save and certain’ place. Your writing about cool passionate jobs (yours and people around you) are really really inspiring for me.

Great inspiration! I think it’s amaznig that she followed her passion like that, when you stick to what you love and work hard things seem to eventually always work out! You’re a great example of that as well :)

I love flowers so much!
yes, you are right, it is so exciting when somebody can turn a passion into a proper job!
I tried to make as an illustrator years back but did not manage it.
Maybe it wasn’t for me. But as a creative person, I put my skills into my house (decorating it) and every little thing I do, from presents (sometimes I made them), to decorating a cake or a table for dinner.
I even put creativity in sales reports and believe me, everyone in the company has noticed that!!!

I love this store! So glad you featured it. I mean, how ingenious to open up a flower store inside a denim store, right?
Love her look and her outfit here too!
It’s not so bad having you in N.Y.C., Garance ;)

i like the arrangement of the products. very cute and creative. i think arranging flowers is such a nice job and eventually you’ll becoming really blooming because you’re surrounded with all that beauty and sweetness. haha!!
